Identify the Optimal Path for Evacuating the Building's Occupants by Integrating GIS And BIM Technologies

Technologies such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) have evolved into complementary instruments to increase the efficacy and safety of building evacuation planning. Although geospatial analysis is provided by GIS for determining safe places of assembly and simulating evacuation pathways, BIM technology makes it feasible to perform sophisticated 3D modeling. To maximize the effectiveness of fire evacuation protocols, this study produces a three-dimensional geographical model by integrating GIS and BIM. To locate the best places to congregate outside the building that are safe, reachable, and far from potential risks, access and distance criteria were assessed using ArcGIS Pro. The effectiveness of the recommended approach is illustrated through a case study of a two-story dorm building at the University of Diyala. Results show that using ArcGIS Pro's Model Builder enhances evacuation planning by finding locations that adhere to safety and standards for accessibility and cutting down on the time and distance to assembly points. This integration provides a reliable method to improve Plans for emergency evacuation and protect building occupants.
